The Rhino charge in Kenya has grown successively during the eight years of its formation and it is counted one among the major fund raising events and formed part of the entertainment and sports calendar. Rhino charge attracts adventure lovers globally and people from the age group of eighteen to eighty participate in the event. Young and old participates in the event and the family members gather to enjoy and cheer them up.
As the population of Kenya is rising steadily and the existing resources are declining abruptly so to keep the pace steady Kenyan Rhino Charge came into existence. It’s a kind of sport organized by the natives of Kenya to raise fund and in turn this fund is used as a charity to conserve the Aberdare Conservative Area. “The Rhino Ark” thus came into existence. Rhino Ark is a charitable organization, set up by the Government and is purely meant to assist the Kenyan Government on the financial aspect and the maintenance of Aberdare Rhino sanctuary project.
Rhino charge is an annual Kenya event and it’s a grueling and tough competition on 4X4 vehicles.
The entrants of the events have to reach the 10 guard posts whose whereabouts are revealed a night before the Rhino charge and they are all on unknown locations. Lots of entrants participate in it and a tedious 10 hours of rough journey only one wins.
Kenyans should be praised for organizing fruitful Kenya events like Rhino Charge and the tedious work they are doing for saving the wild life. Their success can be easily measured by the numerous rhino in Kenya and also due to lower poaching levels in the country.
